The Retro Wrestling Re-View

Things are getting uncomfortable in Memphis and Dirty White Boy Tony Anthony is on his way back to do something about it.Gene Jackson, Josh Briley, and Brian Tramel head back to March 14, 1992, where Eric Embry takes his issues with the Dirty White Girl way too far, setting the stage for Tony Anthony’s return to the Mid-South Coliseum. Meanwhile, Jeff Jarrett resurfaces after his back injury (sorta), the Moondogs continue destroying everything they can get their hands on, Dr. Death still has Nurse Cratchit beating people’s heads in with a bed pan, and the mysterious Lauren Davenport continues scouting the USWA roster.We also get the return of Robert Fuller’s recent “one-off” tag team partner, the “Young Gun” Mike Mitchell, Tony “Bruce Lee” Falk reveals he’s actually a NINJA, and perhaps the most Memphis tag team imaginable: Dr. Tom Prichard and “Fat Boy Potatoes” as “Fat Boy Meat” has apparently already quit the company. And looming over everything is an upcoming eight man tag team war involving Lawler, Kamala, (not) Jeff Jarrett, the Moondogs, Richard Lee and the returning “Boogie Woogie Man” Handsome Jimmy Valiant. (oh and probably Dr. Tom Prichard)... 1992 USWA continues to get stranger by the week.Help keep WrestleCopia growing by joining us on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/WrestleCopiaMembers receive premium VideoCast series, early podcast releases, extensively researched show notes, digital downloads, access to our large wrestling archive at select tiers, and much more.Give the gift of WrestleCopia: Patreon Gift MembershipMerchandise: WrestleCopia on TeePublicDirect Support: Donate Through PaypalVisit the WrestleCopia Podcast Network https://wrestlecopia.comFollow WrestleCopia on “X” (Formerly Twitter) @RasslinGrenadeFollow & LIKE our FACEBOOK PAGE – https://www.facebook.com/RasslinGrenadeSubscribe to the WrestleCopia Youtube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/RasslinGrenade ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Things are getting downright weird in Memphis and yes, we know that’s saying something. The Retro Wrestling Gang head back to March 7, 1992, where Brian Christopher is rapidly turning into the cocky heel we all remember, while the now yet wicked kid, Tony Williams decides he’s had enough of Brian’s ego, and the Texas Heavyweight Title suddenly becomes very personal. Meanwhile, Nurse Cratchit is still dealing out concussions with that bed pan, adding Miss Texas to her growing list of “patients”, and Dr. Tom Prichard’s Southern Heavyweight Title and revolving championship belt situation somehow gets even more confusing.But the biggest surprise comes when the Kamala/Kimala/Whatever turns babyface and sends the Moondogs running for  their lives. Yes, those Moondogs. The same ones who have spent weeks destroying everybody and everything in sight suddenly want no part of the Ugandan Giant. Add in Eric Embry and Pat Tanaka fighting over a Brass Knuckles trophy that actually has brass knuckles attached to it or at least used to, Lauren Davenport continuing her mysterious scouting mission that no one cares about, and Richard Lee preparing to actually get into the ring himself, and you’ve got another wonderfully chaotic week of 1992 USWA television. Memphis wrestling: where a bedpan can be a finishing move and Kamala can become a beloved babyface for beating up a couple of “dogs” with an actual DOOR!Help keep WrestleCopia growing by joining us on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/WrestleCopiaMembers receive premium VideoCast series, early podcast releases, extensively researched show notes, digital downloads, access to our large wrestling archive at select tiers, and much more.Give the gift of WrestleCopia: Patreon Gift MembershipMerchandise: WrestleCopia on TeePublicDirect Support: Donate Through PaypalVisit the WrestleCopia Podcast Network https://wrestlecopia.comFollow WrestleCopia on “X” (Formerly Twitter) @RasslinGrenadeFollow & LIKE our FACEBOOK PAGE – https://www.facebook.com/RasslinGrenadeSubscribe to the WrestleCopia Youtube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/RasslinGrenade ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

The Fat Boys have arrived in Memphis, Koko B. Ware is finally the Unified World Heavyweight Champion, and somehow the Moondogs are still finding new pieces of furniture to destroy.Gene Jackson, Josh Briley, and Brian Tramel head back to February 29, 1992, where Meat & Potatoes make one hell of a first impression and immediately start calling out Richard Lee’s Moondogs. Meanwhile, Brian Christopher’s ego keeps growing while taking on Jim Steel, King Cobra wants to knock him down a few pegs, and a mysterious woman is sitting at ringside taking notes on seemingly everybody.Things get even stranger when “Dr. Death” (NOT Steve Williams) and Nurse Kratchet show up with a bedpan cutting nonsense promos on Dave Brown, Pat Tanaka nearly kicks Eric Embry’s eyeball into the cheap seats, and the Moondogs respond to Big Black Dog’s injury by trying to cripple somebody who had absolutely nothing to do with it. And looming over everything is Night of Champions featuring six title matches, no-disqualification chaos, and Jerry Lawler & Jeff Jarrett finally realizing that beating up the Moondogs isn’t enough. They’ve burned people, broken bones, smashed chairs, wrecked furniture, and turned the studio into a demolition site. Now they want the belts!Help keep WrestleCopia growing by joining us on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/WrestleCopiaMembers receive premium VideoCast series, early podcast releases, extensively researched show notes, digital downloads, access to our large wrestling archive at select tiers, and much more.Give the gift of WrestleCopia: Patreon Gift MembershipMerchandise: WrestleCopia on TeePublicDirect Support: Donate Through PaypalVisit the WrestleCopia Podcast Network https://wrestlecopia.comFollow WrestleCopia on “X” (Formerly Twitter) @RasslinGrenadeFollow & LIKE our FACEBOOK PAGE – https://www.facebook.com/RasslinGrenadeSubscribe to the WrestleCopia Youtube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/RasslinGrenade ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

The Moondogs have been running wild for weeks, but Jerry Lawler and Jeff Jarrett may have finally found the perfect answer.Gene Jackson, Josh Briley, and Brian Tramel head back to February 22, 1992, as Junkyard Dog arrives in Memphis to join the fight against Richard Lee’s ever growing pack. Meanwhile, Eric Embry is still stirring the pot with the Dirty White Girl and now Pat Tanaka is headed back to the USWA, Koko B. Ware puts something very important on the line for another shot at Kamala, and Brian Christopher finally gets some television time again.Add in more Moondog destruction, another wonderfully bizarre Jerry Lawler promo, and a loaded Mid South Coliseum card, and this week’s USWA television gives the Retro Wrestling USWA gang plenty to talk about.The dog fight is getting bigger.Help keep WrestleCopia growing by joining us on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/WrestleCopiaMembers receive premium VideoCast series, early podcast releases, extensively researched show notes, digital downloads, access to our large wrestling archive at select tiers, and much more.Give the gift of WrestleCopia: Patreon Gift MembershipMerchandise: WrestleCopia on TeePublicDirect Support: Donate Through PaypalVisit the WrestleCopia Podcast Network https://wrestlecopia.comFollow WrestleCopia on “X” (Formerly Twitter) @RasslinGrenadeFollow & LIKE our FACEBOOK PAGE – https://www.facebook.com/RasslinGrenadeSubscribe to the WrestleCopia Youtube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/RasslinGrenade ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

The war with Richard Lee and the Moondogs is getting uglier by the week, and this time Jerry Lawler, Jeff Jarrett, and Austin Idol are ready to fight fire with fire perhaps literally. After the Big Black Dog managed to pin Lawler last week, the King has a LOT to say about it on this week’s show.Gene Jackson, Josh Briley, and Brian Tramel head back to February 15, 1992, as the Moondog chaos continues, Lawler delivers one of the strangest promos we’ve heard yet, Koko B. Ware sets his sights on regaining the Unified World Title from Kamala, and the escalating Eric Embry/Dirty White Boy feud leads to a match nobody should probably agree to climb into/or up to…well, you’ll see. Perhaps, the biggest unanswered question the gang has right now is…where the hell is Brian Christopher??Plus, there’s a loaded Mid-South Coliseum card on the horizon featuring a scaffold match, a mud pit match, a World Tag Team Title match, and Lawler promising that Richard Lee may want to keep a fire extinguisher close by. Basically, Memphis Wrestling is entering that wonderful stage where every feud seems to be escalating at the exact same time. And they’re just here trying to make sense of it all. Help keep WrestleCopia growing by joining us on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/WrestleCopiaMembers receive premium VideoCast series, early podcast releases, extensively researched show notes, digital downloads, access to our large wrestling archive at select tiers, and much more.Give the gift of WrestleCopia: Patreon Gift MembershipMerchandise: WrestleCopia on TeePublicDirect Support: Donate Through PaypalVisit the WrestleCopia Podcast Network https://wrestlecopia.comFollow WrestleCopia on “X” (Formerly Twitter) @RasslinGrenadeFollow & LIKE our FACEBOOK PAGE – https://www.facebook.com/RasslinGrenadeSubscribe to the WrestleCopia Youtube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/RasslinGrenade ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
